Acomb Travel

Our discerning clients come from all walks of life. They have many a varied request from a Theatre Break in London to seeing an Opera in Verona, a Country Cottage in the Lake District to an exciting tour of Australia, a riverboat cruise on an English canal to a penthouse suite on a luxury cruise line.

Our personal service is designed to take out the worry and stresses of booking a holiday as well as offering you financial protection and security when placing your booking.

Established in 1977, we have a wealth of experience to advise you where to stay, the most efficient way to get there and also the best time to visit. We can advise of the alternative options available, which operators and airlines are offering the best deals, and the differing standards of accommodation on offer.

Each year we go on several visits abroad, and our personal knowledge is second to none. There is nothing better than personal recommendation from somebody who has visited the destination.

Our wealth of knowledge and expert advice is the key to our success. Over many years we have developed strong relationships with all major and independent tour operators.

At Acomb Travel we believe your holiday should be as good as if it were our own holiday! We look forward to looking after your holiday arrangements.

Andrea Morrison

We all have infinite potential within us and we have the capacity to live a balanced and fulfilled life.

We have that within all of us. I believe that you have that within you, right now, even if as you read this you don’t believe that you do and it’s my aim to help you discover it.

We’ve all had that time when we felt really in flow, like we were connected to a well of ideas and inspiration; a time when life and business felt easy and straightforward, a time when you saw solutions, opportunities, felt confident, creative and hopeful.

We’ve all had that light bulb moment when you’ve solved a problem or had a flash of inspiration, a great idea that you had no idea where it came from.  Often it happens when we least expected it, when our minds are clear and not even thinking about it. If only we could harness this ability more often.

We all have glimpses of these from time to time, life feels good and easy, inspired even, but imagine what life would be like if you could feel like this more often and easier.

When I work with clients, we explore the principles that lie behind our infinite potential and capacity for life balance.  When we understand more about how our minds work, how we experience life, we can start to tap into the well of potential that we all have, creating unrivalled levels of personal performance and deeper, more impactful connections.

It’s like finding the crucial piece of our personal performance jigsaw.  More importantly and often overlooked it frees our mind to enable us to become more inspired, energised, empowered, engaged as well as an increasing our personal sense of wellbeing, confidence and resilience.

Sargable Group Ltd

We have delivered many data related projects over the past years, from simple server builds, logical data modelling and physical design to complex data migrations and integrations. We have seen and dealt with many obstacles but the most common were, getting and consolidating data in a compliant manner and finding the common denominator to make sense out of it.

After many years of employment and contracting in different industries, in 2016 we started a company that was helping businesses manage their Microsoft Data Platform solutions. In 2020, to respond to the changing market needs and to really help our clients make use of their data, we decided to create the Sargable service. It reflects what we do and how we feel about it.

Sargable is a condition in relational databases where the query can take advantage of the index to speed up execution. The term is a derivation of Search Arguments. Saying the query is non-Sargable means it’s inefficient, using too much resources and taking too long. We want to change this and make your business use data more effectively. 

Being a small and cost-effective company allows us to give our customers the attention and focus they require and offer most competitive rates on the market. 

Sargable is the trading name of Sargable Group Ltd.

The committee members are all residential landlords in their own right who give up their time on a voluntary basis to help the association and its members. In addition we have a dedicated staff member who supports the membership, committee and chairman, ensuring that York RLA is run professionally and independently.

By joining York RLA, landlords gain enormous benefits for a very modest membership fee. See Membership Benefits.

The roots are your values and purpose – what you are here to do, and how will you act.

Your roots anchor you, guide you, and support everything above ground.

The trunk of the Blue Tree is your leadership capability and behaviours. Giving strength, guidance and direction to everyone above in your organisation.

The lower boughs characterise your approach to people. Call it HR if you will, but we believe its much more than that. Its about how you behave toward your people, the environment that you create for them in which to perform and thrive and grow. Its about maximising their strengths and potential, its not about conditioning them to be some fit in the box corporate drone. And these are not tasks for HR alone, they are tasks for all leaders and managers in your organisation, along with all colleagues.

As we head into the leaf canopy of your Blue Tree we encounter your managers. Those who, through their people deliver performance, those who need to ensure that they are aligned to your organisation’s purpose, and that their people are too. Those who are the first port of call for feedback, for motivation, and for ensuring that behaviours are aligned to your values and purpose.

In your leaf canopy perhaps each leaf represents one of your people. Aligned to your purpose, values and objectives. Connected to each other, very closely or somewhat less so. But each one different. Unique. Creative and innovative.  With their own thoughts, voice and contribution. But acting in harmony with the rest of your organisation.

Stepping back from your Blue Tree, you can see the whole. An aligned organisation. Strong. Thriving and growing. All contributing to the whole. This is your organisational capability and culture.  This is also what your people and your customers see, feel and experience.

You may be asking why the tree is blue? Well, you don’t want to be the same as every other tree do you? You want to stand out, to be different. To be you.

Culture is an often thrown around word.  We think of it as the way things are done around here, how people think and feel, and what its like to work here, to work with us, and to be a customer of ours.

So, it should flow from your purpose and values and be seen at all touch points, consistently.

Where you have lost your connection to your sense of purpose and your values, where your leadership is not ensuring that everyone's efforts and behaviours are aligned, then you have chaos, poor service, sub cultures, loss of productivity and the obvious negative impacts on the bottom line and your reputation.

If you are suffering from any of these problems, then we can help.

Lisa Clifford Limited

I’m Lisa Clifford. Internationally certified firewalk & empowerment master trainer, global speaker & coach.

What am I all about?

I love empowering people to step into their true and magnificent potential where they can live their life with the most happiness and heartfelt joy. Irrespective whether this is their business or personal life. Living free of restrictions or limitations and open to anything.

What led me here?

In 2004, I started to question my direction and my dissatisfaction with my life.  I was in a good and highly paid Sales Leadership job, responsible for £40m with a successful team but then a question I saw in a book stopped me in my tracks:  “what would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” I had an epiphany and immediately began considering a bigger and more fulfilled life… and that’s where my journey into personal development began, I left that highly paid job and the next month I began with my coach training, then hypnosis, Anthony Robbins’ Unlimited Power Weekend, followed by NLP with Paul McKenna & Richard Bandler. Then, in 2008 my curiosity about human potential and the rapidity of personal growth witnessed in firewalking, brought me to begin my training. On the surface, I was #winningatlife, learning tools and techniques to use on other people and enjoying the process myself.

However, the dissatisfaction and occasional but regular bumps in the road started to emerge as unfinished and buried self-doubt and personal self-loathing, from a destructive, dysfunctional, and grief-filled family history.  I had been hiding it, whilst living as the outwardly confident and happy person I appeared to be.  I was putting on a relentless & tiresome show, to continue to fight my way into success in a way that no one could doubt me. I became suddenly mindful that I was full of self-loathing, doubt, and sabotage. I was hiding damaging patterns of behaviour stemming from an unhealed childhood of immense pain, abandonment, rejection, emotional and sometimes physical abuse. The Firewalk Training blew my mind and heart wide open and the much-needed and deserved healing, began.

From this point forward, my courses and training took on a direction, feeling, style and intensity of authenticity that touched the lives of those who trained with me in ways that I could never have imagined.  This mindfulness that I had emerged from, changed my own life and impacted every course and training I delivered. The cathartic change that occurred within me that helped me to emerge from my pain and allowed me to become who I have become is the constant reminder that people can overcome great hardships.

My belief is that it was always my purpose to empower people and my own unique journey was the catalyst which invited me to the fire, for which I am so grateful for my childhood.

I am honoured to have coached and led empowerment events for; some of the largest hotel chains in the world; solicitors; accountants; banks: construction companies and The UK Ministry Of Defence. Companies like:

• Best Western
• The Police
• Intercontinental Hotel Group
• Siemens
• BBC
• ITV  

For the MOD, I ran a leadership programme including a firewalk for over 100 Army officers in conjunction with the UK’s prestigious Sandhurst Army Officer Training Academy.  All of these officers had just returned from deployment in Afghanistan. I believe it’s my purpose and mission to release people from their limitations, so they can stand in their power and dare to believe in living their big and beautiful life.

Personal matters of the heart are that I love, love, love dogs, mountain walking and the fire.

Oxmoor Care Consultancy

With all the medical advances made over the years, the good news is that we are all living longer these days. The bad news is that we are, as a result, having to live with various conditions towards the end of our lives for longer than we did in the past. And worse still, we are having to pay more and more for our care when the time comes. 

So planning ahead is vitally important – whether, for example, putting in place Lasting Powers of Attorney (Property & Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare) or ensuring that financial resources are available to fund long-term care.

Like it or not, many of us will need some form of care in the later stages of our lives. If we are fortunate, this may be provided by a family member, but at some point that may no longer be possible.

Often the solution can be domiciliary care – meaning you will be able stay at home, while receiving external support. This could range from one visit per week right through to 24/7 ‘live in’ care. Alternatively, the solution may be sheltered accommodation or assisted living. While for others, the best option might be a care home – for example, if nursing care is required or if more advanced dementia is involved.

Whatever the need, Oxmoor Care Consultancy can help across a multitude of situations. For example:

• Finding a suitable care home

• Advising on the pros and cons of the various care options available – eg care home vs care at home vs assisted living

• Helping to ensure that the quality of care being provided is matching up to the agreed, required standard

• Providing information on all the costs associated with specific care options

• Helping to explore and to secure all the funding options which may be available

• Looking at all the available care options associated with staying in your own home

• Advising on Continuing Healthcare – eg whether you are likely to qualify for free care, and how to go about securing it.

• Carrying out mental capacity assessments 

• Helping with specific advice where dementia is involved

• Finding suitable respite care

• Helping to create a funeral plan

What are your goals in life, what do you want to achieve?

• Imagine if you had all the confidence in the world to do what you want to do and be what you want. How would that feel?
• How would you feel to not be scared of spiders, flying or public speaking – feeling confident, calm and in control?

City of York Council

The York Economic Strategy, covering the period 2011-2015, has been finalised.

This document, published jointly by City of York Council and York Economic Partnership, recognises the difficulties recession has placed upon both households and firms in the city and recognises the need to develop a robust strategy for recovery and development.

We have much to be justly proud of in York, assets that are first class and present many opportunities; our heritage and culture, leading universities, a strong science and innovation focus, highly-skilled workforce and strengths in both old and new industries.

However, the full potential of the city's economy has not yet been realised, and difficult economic times could present challenges to York's economy in the near future. We need to develop a more productive and enterprising economy that makes the most of the assets we have whilst improving upon our weaknesses. With improvements to our economy, we can work to improve our international profile and attract higher levels of inward investment.

Our central economic vision is for the City of York to become a more enterprising and international city economy, renowned for opportunity and specifically to become a top-10 English city economy that delivers for business, people and the environment, and internationally-recognised as an 'innovation capital' - a key centre for science, R&D and knowledge-based business.

Grays Court

Grays Court York is possibly the oldest continuously occupied house in the United Kingdom. Dating back in part to 1080 and commissioned by the first Norman Archbishop of York to provide the official residence for the Treasurers of York Minster, the house has an unrivalled history.

The house was surrendered to the Crown on 26 May 1547 and the last of the mediaeval Treasurers, William Clyff, resigned. The first post-Reformation owner was Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset. He was given the house in 1547 by King Edward VI, the son of King Henry VIII.

In 2005 the Dean & Chapter of York Minster decided to sell Grays Court. The building had become somewhat neglected and had an institutional feel. John & Helen immediately recognised the potential to breathe new life into the house as an exclusive retreat for discerning visitors.

Nestled in the shadow of York Minster and the City Walls, Grays court is now a true one-off - a country house in the heart of the city - just waiting to be discovered. Along with our charming bedrooms, we offer fine food, exquisite gardens and the warmest welcome to everyone.

Make It York

The city’s very first Destination Management Organisation (DMO) – Make It York – brings together the work previously delivered by Visit York, Science City York and the City of York Council’s inward investment, events and festivals teams into one new strategic and dynamic company.

Destinations are places where people want to live, study, invest in or re-locate to and visit. Destinations are multifaceted places containing a number of stakeholders with their own specific needs. Experience shows that without collaboration, coordination and a continued focus, places do not evolve with a common purpose. To create a successful and sustainable economy, all the components that make a successful destination need to be managed in an integrated and strategic way, with a clear focus on the needs of residents, businesses and visitors. This is pivotal to the strategic framework for Make It York.

Make It York is a dynamic public/private partnership which brings together many different threads of activity, from inward investment to tourism, city centre management to cultural development.

Middlethorpe Hall & Spa

Middlethorpe Hall is a William and Mary country house, built in 1699 of mellow red brick with limestone dressings, for Thomas Barlow, a master cutler from Sheffield. It was bought in the 1980s and reopened as a luxury hotel, Restaurant and Spa in 1984, rescued from decay, caringly and lovingly restored by Historic House Hotels. In September 2008, Middlethorpe Hall and the other two Historic House Hotels became the inalienable property of the National Trust by donation, with all profits benefiting the houses and the charity.

The restoration, conservation and conversion into a country house hotel has been carried out to exacting and historically accurate standards. It has been elegantly decorated in the manner of the 18th Century and furnished with antiques and fine paintings, so that its look and ambiance is that of a well-kept, well-furnished private manor house rather than a 29 bedroom Hotel (ten rooms and suites in the house, and nineteen in the adjacent 18th Century courtyard).

The 20 acres of manicured gardens and parkland which surround Middlethorpe Hall are also the result of a transformation - from a rose bed and nettles to a parterre that now includes a fragrant rose garden, intriguing walled garden and romantic meadow which leads to a lake surrounded by beautiful specimen trees. There is also a ha'ha.

Middlethorpe Hall is renowned for its imaginative cuisine and its panelled dining rooms which overlook the manicured gardens. It also boasts a Health and Fitness Spa built behind the handsome façade of two listed Edwardian cottages. This offers guests a range of facilities from Decléor, ESPA and Jessica treatments with trained therapists to a splendid swimming pool, sauna and gymnasium.

Middlethorpe Hall, like its sister hotels Hartwell House in Aylesbury and Bodysgallen Hall near Llandudno, has achieved a graceful transition from country house to first-class hotel without losing its character. Indeed, Historic House Hotels are now the yardstick by which others must be judged.

Middlethorpe Hall welcomes children over the age of 6.

In the interest of the majority of our guests and the safety of historic Middlethorpe Hall, all rooms and bedrooms have been designated non-smoking.
